I can give you the easy one for me and it has a Stanford connection.  Will Clark against Nolan Ryan in the Astrodome.  It was opening day 1986 and the Giants game was on in the lounge at Am Stud.  I wandered over to check it out and remember saying "Hey, this is that kid they've been talking about at Spring Training." He ends up hitting a home run to deep center field.  Will the Thrill was born on that day for me.  I will never forget his epic battle against Mark Grace of the Cubs in the playoffs in 1989.  I know there were a lot of other players involved but it felt like a one-on-one battle between Clark and Grace.  


Alen Hanson hit a three run home run this year for the Giants in his first at bat but I think he had been in the majors for the Pirates at some point.  

Cheers,
Pete F.
